Got back one month ago. My 4th animal. Shot at 75 yards with a Savage 99 in 300 Savage, open sights.

Very beautiful mount. Just emailed it to my wife and told her to get plane tickets --Only partly kidding-next summer...............


precision is group shooting, accuracy is hitting your intended target.

I have both Hartmann and Burchell's mounts, but I just returned from Zambia, and learned that their Zebras, although not a different subspecies, are different. They have no shading, just black & white, but the striping continues around under their bellies and down the legs....fully striped. Gorgeous animal!

Zebras are hard to hunt and delicious. I think the best game meat I have eaten.Hunting one is the ultimate revenge for every horse that has tried to buck you off, rubbed you off on a tree, bitten you, stepped on you or made you walk through prickly pear.

Notice the scope.....oh, to have young eyes again!


Hey Ingwe: I was reading an old issue of Rifle the other day and JB ratted you out (by name, of all things!!) for butt-shooting a zebra with a 7x57 using partitions. Is this the one?

"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
